Birmingham and Manchester.

6 Comments »

Oh yes... I was on the go, again! During the short study break, we pampered ourselves with a sweet trip to  Birmingham and Manchester. Birmingham's such a crazy shopping paradise. As for Manchester, it's not really up to our expectations. To got accustomed to my own lovely town of Bristol with peace and clean streets and polite people, I found it difficult to accept the weird stares some locals threw to us Asians, the dirty paths that're not at all appealing, and the hectic night life every day. Still, we had so much fun with the company. I'm loving my travel partners so much!  

This will probably be the last trip until the end of December when I'll head to Cornwall for a host program. I hope you enjoy the pictures!

A little piece of me.

#1. I don't take cold coffee, unless forced with a AK-47.
#2. I hate peas, just destroy them already.
#3. I only shoot under natural sunlight, because I will never agree florescent and incandescent are as magical as sunshine.
#4. I have this stupid iPhone addiction so bad that sometimes I just feel like crashing it to pieces and get my Nokia back.
#5. I have a boyfriend and we've just passed 2.5 years of hurricanes. More to come, perhaps milder.
#6. I don't have a really close girlfriend despite years of yearning but I have a very loving sister. I guess life is fair after all.
#7. I suck at remembering faces and names.
#8. I wish to venture into portrait and fashion photography but at the time being, I still feel too shy to do so. I love collaborations too!
#9. I am a very tidy person, but not clean. There IS a difference if you don't just know.
#10. I know Taylor Swift is too mainstream but I still love her (her music to be exact) a lot. I want you to know I ain't following the trend, but my own ears.
#11. I am Chinese educated and I'm proud of that.
#12. It is an offense visiting me without informing. I don't like to reveal my face without a shower. It just feels too insecure.
#13. I am hyper sensitive. I very easily feel people disliking me although sometimes my instinct might be wrong.
#14. I like to find out myself before asking people about my doubts. I'm an introvert.
#15. I want to finish my work on that day and I can't seem to accept any grades less than distinction. It hits me badly. Society defines it as kiasu and I don't seem to comprehend how strict standard set to self relates to a competition with everybody else.
#16. I am not strong, I wet my pillows too. My soft toy is salty.  
#17. I love mornings and breakfasts, mornings and breakfasts, mornings and breakfasts. I too love waking up knowing I have no commitments for the day. Responsibilities, to a very great extent, are very tiring.
#18. I love flowers, because I feel they're smiling at me. Having said that, please smile to me, or in my dictionary you simply dislike me.

love, M

Clifton, Bristol.

It's ironic to realize I haven't really explored Bristol by paying a day trip despite having stayed here for 1.5 month. I spent this period discovering many much further places - Bibury, Bath, even to the extent of flying to Germany. However, this Saturday my girls and I decided to settle near, just so we would still have time to rest on Sunday. We wandered around Clifton with our free express bus card in the morning and proceeded to the famous Bristol landmark, The Suspension Bridge. I'd say all in all it's a very great trip! :) The only drawback was the unbearable weather. It's not at all difficult to acknowledge the weather change starting this week. It's almost close to zero at night! I had a constant feeling that I was going to be blown away by the intensely strong wind that contributed nothing but uncomfortable chill. This winter, I'll really just want to stay in, hibernate and get up only when spring knocks. 

Anyway, it's so happening here in the UK for Halloween celebration! On streets you will see many youngsters walking in gangs attending parties with different make-ups and costumes. It really is fun! 


Happy Sunday, folks!
